Comfort, who lives at No. 9, Shodipo St., Papa Ashafa, Orile Agege, also told the court that her husband, Kayode, was adulterous and given to alcohol.
``I am the one feeding and clothing the family as well as paying the house rent.
"All he knows is to drink to stupor and chase single ladies in the neigbourhood.
"I made efforts to stop him from these disgraceful acts but he did not listen, ‘’ she said.
She said that she was tired of giving Kayode money weekly because of his refusal to find a job.
The mother of four children, aged between seven and 24 years, said that she would not regret quitting the marriage.
"I have endured for 25 years; I want to stay alone now; he is useless,’’ she said.
Responding, Kayode, 54, submitted that he was caring for his family although he had no money.
"When one of our children was sick, I was with him for three months in the hospital doing what his mother could not do.
"I protect the family and take care of the children while she brings home the money,’’ he said.
Kayode prayed the court to save the union, saying that he still loved his wife and would continue to do so.
The President of the court, Mr Joseph Adewusi, adjourned the case till Feb. 13 for possible reconciliation of the estranged couple.
